Community Foundations of New Zealand

We have been involved with some major fundraising activities that have benefited the South Canterbury Community including the MRI scanner, The Caroline Bay Aquatic Centre, The Hockey Turf Development and many others. We wish to continue this legacy for our community.

The Aoraki Foundation is proud to be a member of Community Foundations of New Zealand (CFNZ)

CFNZ is an umbrella body to support the establishment and growth of Community Foundations across the country.

Membership of CFNZ means that our community foundation meets professional standards of best practice. We are governed by a local Board, are community-focused and are striving to build a permanent endowment fund which will benefit our local community, forever.

There are 15 Community Foundations in New Zealand, with a number of others in the planning stages.

Community Foundations of New Zealand are part of a global movement of place-based philanthropy, one of the fastest-growing forms of philanthropy in the world.
